On walking along Lake Wazeecha:

“The view is always beautiful and changing with the seasons. We start by the boat landing, and go east toward the dam. We can see the sun over the trees. Been out there in all kinds of weather. It’s been 20 below and windy and been out in the sleet and 100 degree weather.”

She said she has walked around the four-mile path around Lake Wazeecha almost daily with a good friend since 1995. She guesses that equates to about 16,000 miles she has spent trekking around the 148-acre lake at 6411 S. Park Road in Wisconsin Rapids.
